I know plenty of great writers and journalists who are struggling who DIDN'T have affairs with people they were reporting on, were better and more qualified journos to begin with, and who didn't break ANY rules, let alone debase themselves. Where are their book deals and write-ups in Vanity Fair?

As far as aftermarket wheels go, this is superb actually! Love a V8V 🫶
And finally, a pair for @mtdrift.bsky.social and @petrospect.blog.
A bit too much wheel for me on the Aston, but it was super clean.

Pretty cool car storage solution with this X1 on a lift, wonder how much of a pain it would be if the electricity's down 😅

So between Chrismas shopping, they set up a Zeekr stand at my local mall and it attracted a TON of attention, I managed to get a seat in--this is the first Chinese EV I've ever interacted with! #PSquickie #weirdcarBS (hell yeah, we're BACK baby)

Fun update: E36 now is between AZ-1 and Cappucino but that is assuming the Autozam wasn't way overboosted--this is surprisingly less insult to injury for the 316i because it really is "woah it sounds good/I'm going HOW SLOW??"

Of All The V8s I've Loved Before...
I've enjoyed driving a number of Porsche/Mercedes/BMW/Lexii V8s over the years, but only owned four:
Plymouth Fury ex police - 440 ci?-4 bbl
Chevy Camaro - 307 ci - 2bbl
Olds Something or other full size wagon - small block tbd - 2 bbl
Corvette C4 - 350 ci - MPI

I don't know why but it all comes back to me wanting to own a good V8 someday as improbable as it seems to me now.
Here's a few I've thought about "someday" which might never happen 🧵
